Zenith industry
The industrial network of extraction, production, freight, and automated construction.
Industrial development is the central mission of Zenith (organization) on its new world. Mia begins with a small construction kit and gradually builds a network of working factories.
The first machines
Initial infrastructure includes a battery, a mechanical extractor, power cables, and conveyors. Tserin must be extracted by machinery rather than by hand, then moved into the power system.
Expanding production
As production grows, raw materials are processed into components for further construction. Machines and buildings consume energy from The Zenith power grid. Materials must physically arrive at their destinations; they cannot be teleported from a distant warehouse.
Remote sites
Factories can specialize in extraction, processing, and storage. The first planned remote operation is a self-powered Tserin mine that ships inactive crystals back to the main network. Roads, fuel-powered trucks, and rail transport link sites as the network expands.
The older world
Previous industry existed on Zenith's world, but Mia begins with no ready-made factory to occupy.
